In the Inbox (April 21, 2005)
“We all know the Pope was elected in utmost secrecy; the rooms they held the conclave were swept for bugs, special filtering was setup for radio waves and cell phones, etc… . But you want to know the real reason for all the secrecy and privacy? They’re in there with a bunch of little boys and they didn’t want to get caught…” All you sick bastards make me so proud…

Iris Chang
Although I remember the headlines when her suicide was announced, I didn’t really know much about her life until I read this article: Historian Iris Chang won many battles The war she lost raged within Truly sad… It’s hard to imagine how easy it is to succumb to the darkness until you’re surrounded by it.

It turns out that the barriers are placed there because of the construction they are doing upriver. Basically, they are trying to level out the riverbed since it got so jammed up…
